darIen hovered over LeLandI, reachIng for the nurse’s call button, his other hand on hers. No, she wouldn’t take any more pain medication and become a zombie again, despite how much the pain filtered through every nerve ending with acute clarity. Nurse Grey walked into the room and looked from Lelandi to Darien with a questioning gaze.
“She’s hurting pretty badly,” Darien said.
“No.” Lelandi shook her head. “I can manage.”
“No sense in putting up with it.” Nurse Grey reached
for the IV line. “Might as well be comfortable.”
“No.” Lelandi narrowed her eyes, giving the nurse and Darien a dagger of a look and tried to pull away
from the IV. “I don’t want any more.”
Both Darien and Nurse Grey gave small smiles.
She wanted to jerk her hand out of his, and in fact she
thought she’d tried, but he kept her hand hostage.
